Chapter 282 - Revenge 283: Where It Began V

"Brother, my wife IS a Coleman. The moment she married me, she is a part of the Colemans, and it is only natural for my wife to take over if something ever happens to me." Arion said with a hint of anger in his tone. He never gets angry at his brother, ever.

However, if his brother keeps on belittling his wife, that is the moment he would get angry at him. Arion doesn't see any reason for his brother to be against at the fact that his wife will take over once he leaves temporarily.

"I'm talking about being related to each other by blood, younger brother. If ever something happens to you, you should pass the family business to someone who is related to you by blood. Who knows what will your wife will do once-"

Arion did not let his older brother finish his sentence and slammed his hands to the table. "Brother! Don't you dare speak of my wife like that! I've never spoken to your wife with disrespect, and I would like you to do the same thing." Arion knows what his brother is about to say. James was about to say that once he is gone, Mary will find another man and will take advantage of the family business.

James was shocked, really shocked. He has never seen his brother this angry before. He always thought that his little brother is calm and collected whenever he is in front of the family, and that is why James took advantage of that. He knew that if he ever says something towards Arion, Arion won't retaliate.

"Older brother, if you are saying that I should consider passing the family business to you until one of my twins is ready, then don't worry because I have considered it. However, my wife's way of dealing with business matters is better."

Arion doesn't deny his older brother's skills in handling any business-related matters. His older brother is great, and he admires that, however, just like Marcus, whenever it comes to business matters, Arion chooses the person who performs the best. Between his older brother and his wife, his wife performed the best. He is not being biased, he is just stating facts.

James gritted his teeth in anger and said, "You and father said the same thing."

Arion heard that and his eyes shook. When their father said to the public that he will be the one running the family business, he felt guilty because he thinks that he stole the spot where his older brother should be.

He knows very well that his older brother worked really hard just to be the rightful heir. And of course, he also worked hard not because he wanted the family business, but because he wants to contribute to their family business. He never expected that the result would be him getting the spot without even thinking about it.

Arion once again took a glance at the copy of his will, and a question popped in his mind. "Brother, how did you get a copy of my will?" Arion made his will with his lawyer privately, and it's entirely impossible for anyone to know when he made it.

"Your lawyer gave it to me, and he said that you wanted to let me know," James replied in a monotone.

"My lawyer said that?" Arion never ordered his lawyer to do such a thing, and this made Arion frown.

"Yes." Arion is not stupid, he knows that a lawyer is not allowed to reveal confidential doc.u.ments to anyone unless the time is right. The kind of lawyer who would reveal any private doc.u.ments between the client and the lawyer will be arrested. 1

This kind of development can only be concluded in one thing, his lawyer and his older brother are working together. At that thought, Arion scoffed inwardly, and anger started to rise up inside him. 'I can't believe this.'

After a while, James finally left, and the moment James stepped out of the room, Arion immediately took out his phone and dialed Leonardo's number. After a few rings, Leonardo finally answered and without letting Leonardo say a word, Arion spoke in a serious manner, "Leo, can you do me a favor and gather some evidence that my lawyer is sharing confidential doc.u.ments to others without my knowledge, and please don't link it to my brother. Give me the details by tomorrow."

Even though he is quite upset by his brother's actions, he still did not want his brother to get into trouble. That's how much Arion treasured his family.

As soon as he said that he ended the call, and the person on the other line is quite enraged by Arion's command without letting him refuse such favor.

The next day Arion got the information that he needed and put his lawyer arrested, and got a better one and redo his will.

On James' side, when he heard that his little brother's lawyer got arrested for sharing important doc.u.ments without the client's knowledge, James suddenly got nervous and even practiced his speech that it was all the lawyer's doing and not his. However, no matter how many minutes he waited no one came to interrogate him.

That made James become delusional because of the name he bears nobody would dare to go against him.

At the moment, Arion and Harrison meet up again, and this time Arion has a definite answer to Harrison's risky plan.

"What is your answer, Arion?" Harrison asked.

Arion revealed a bitter smile and replied back to Harrison, "I have no other choice, don't I?" If ever Harrison dies in the process of this mission, Arion will take responsibility. And for his wife's anger, he will take it, even if it's gonna scar for the rest of his life.

"How are you gonna disappear without telling your family the problem?" Harrison asked.

"For sure I'm not gonna follow your footsteps, uncle," Arion said in a matter of fact tone. Arion will never follow the same path as Harrison, and in his opinion, what he is about to do is much more painful than what Harrison did.

"Are you just gonna disappear without a word? That's very not nice, Arion. Mary will hate you, your children might even hate you."

"I know. I would rather for them to hate me than to risk their well-being." Arion knows that his way of thinking things is not the right and that there is another way to do things, however, they are going against time, and he can't waste another second to think of another way.

[Present Time]

"That's your f*cking reason for leaving? And my f*cking husband encourages you to do that? You two are a bunch of f*cking idiots. There is always another way to do things, and your excuse is that you guys are running out of time? Are f*cking kidding me?" Claire said with a hint of anger in her tone. Despite looking like a fragile old lady, Claire sure has a very unique way to express her anger just by using her words. 1 I don't how things really work, but in my opinion, I think that's how it works. If I'm wrong please forgive me. She's one of my favorite!!!
